Oriental Poppies 
Grenadin Carnation 
“T REMEMBER well the first time I saw an Oriental 
Poppy. I was a boy then, and it excited me wonder¬ 
fully, and I thought it was the most remarkable flower 
in the world. And now, after 50 years have gone by, and 
I have seen all the known flowers of the world, I am still of 
the opinion that it is wonderful; one of the most striking 
and effective perennials in cultivation.” Our founder, 
Mr. J. Wilkinson Elliott, wrote this 15 years ago and it 
is still true. One who has not seen the blaming beauty 
of the Oriental Poppies has not yet seen a garden.

there has been a persistent demand for hardy Carnations for garden 
use and the plant breeders have answered the demand, giving us
